This double album has packaged all the angst, rage, confusion, heartbreak, and disillusionment of working class teenagers and young men. Much rawer and more powerful than Tommy, Quadrophenia is an epic story of a lost and angry young man as he rages against society, heroes, hypocrisy, and love. It contains some of the hardest rocking songs the Who have ever recorded such as 5:15 and the Real Me, but the genius lies in Townshend's returning to the haunting overture theme throughout and finishing with the touching and soul wrenching song of redemption in Love Reign O'er Me. The voice of the angry young man is brought fully to life by the incredibly powerful vocals of Roger Daltry and Entwhistle and Moon are at their hardrocking best. This is the pinnacle of Townshend's musical brilliance and anger and reminds us all of how brilliant the format of a double album can be in the hands of a genius at his peak. Quadrophenia stands as an absolute classic in rock and roll history. |
